What if after Trump wins DECISIVELY tomorrow and in order to really screw things up, Joe resigns and Kamala is made the president....
Then she would have to choose a VP who would certify the election.... But that VP would have to be approved by congress....which could take a while
The speaker of the House presides if the Vice President is absent to preside as Senate president.
It became ceremonial after the Pence situation.
But I think u/Ltlgeneral64 point is that there won't be a VP. However there will be an acting VP - Speaker of the House as per the succession line. So this particular move will not be fruitful.
Yea... That's a good point
I don't think any of this is real anymore. Just narrative. All story lines welcome of course.
In this scenario, Trump needs to be elected speaker of the house... That would be fun!
Biden resigns, Kamala pardons the J 6ers as a goodwill gesture, and Trump is speaker for 2 months while they flush out all the congress members who used government money to buy staffer's silence with non-disclosure agreements they never filed as campaign donations. She gets to be first female president without having too much stress.
Kamala herself could decline to certify the election. That would really spice things up.
